Emiliano Martinez Wants Silverware with Aston Villa After Winning Yashin Trophy

Argentina's Number One Reflects on Aston Villa Achievements

Emiliano Martinez has set his sights on winning silverware with Aston Villa after being crowned the best goalkeeper in the world at the 2022 Ballon d'Or awards. The Argentine stopper picked up the Yashin Trophy, awarded to the world's outstanding goalkeeper, after a stellar year with both club and country.

Martinez was a key figure in Aston Villa's run to the Carabao Cup final last season, saving two penalties in the semi-final shootout victory over Leicester City. He also played a pivotal role in Argentina's Copa America triumph, saving three penalties in the shootout victory over Colombia in the semi-finals.

Martinez's Goals for Aston Villa

Now, Martinez is hungry for more success with Aston Villa. The Villans are currently 11th in the Premier League table, but Martinez believes the team has the potential to challenge for trophies.

"I want to win silverware with Aston Villa," Martinez said. "I think we have a good team, and I think we can achieve something special. We have a lot of quality players, and we are all working hard to improve.

"I am very happy to be at Aston Villa. I feel like I am at home here, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to play for this club. I want to win trophies for the fans, and I want to help the club achieve its goals."

Martinez's World Cup Ambitions

Martinez will also be hoping to play a key role for Argentina at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The Albiceleste are one of the favorites to win the tournament, and Martinez will be looking to add a World Cup winners' medal to his collection.

"I am very excited about the World Cup," Martinez said. "I think Argentina has a very good team, and I think we can win the tournament. We have a lot of quality players, and we are all working hard to prepare for the tournament.

"I am very confident in our team. I think we have the quality to win the World Cup, and I think we can make history."
